Supermassive Video games has launched a brand new replace for its gore-soaked horror hit, The Quarry. Launched again in June, this newest patch for the sport dials up the problem for these wanting an actual problem.
The developer confirmed that this replace contains an possibility for more durable, sooner quick-time occasions (QTEs). Those that have performed The Quarry, The Darkish Photos Anthology, or Till Daybreak, will know that Supermassive has a passion for QTEs, throwing a button immediate at gamers throughout tense motion sequences.
It’s honest to say that the timing wanted for these is usually a bit tame, the studio little doubt eager to discover a issue stability that fits each informal and core avid gamers. Nonetheless, in the event you breezed by means of The Quarry’s QTEs with out failing, there’s a load of attainable story outcomes you’ve missed. Not solely can new routes and actions change into obtainable, predominant characters can die because the story continues to unfold.
In our evaluation of The Quarry, we scored the Till Daybreak successor an 8/10, saying:
Supermassive has managed to bag some fairly large names from the world of horror cinema together with Ted Raimi, Lin Shaye, and David Arquette to call only a few. There are some acquainted faces amongst The Quarry’s survivors too, bouncing off one another fairly convincingly with their irreverent banter and goofy tangents. They’ll take a while to develop on you, however then that’s one of many many benefits this recreation has over a horror film, with a run-time of round 10 hours. Positive, the pacing isn’t good, and never each plot has an excellent satisfying conclusion but, as a complete, it comes collectively brilliantly, regardless of your chosen path.
As soon as the solar rises and the massacre ends, you’ll be itching to play The Quarry once more to see what different outcomes there are. that is Supermassive’s most refined horror recreation up to now, but it surely simply falls wanting snatching Till Daybreak’s gore-crusted crown.
However what’s subsequent for Supermassive Video games? The workforce is at present wrapping up its work on The Satan in Me, the closing recreation within the Darkish Photos Anthology. Every instalment has targeted on a unique pressure of horror, from ghost ships and demons to witches, this remaining chapter following a sadistic serial killer, starring Jessie Buckley. No launch date has been confirmed although we’re anticipating it to launch in Autumn 2022.
